selling chili peppers in chronology

===========================

After the bad peppers were made, other people continued to help grow the peppers, and Chen Chen asked the team leader to write a letter of introduction and went to Yongxing County.

The late rice will be harvested soon, and I will have to be busy for a long time. After the busy work is over, the jars of bad peppers can be opened, so the labels to be pasted must be made in advance.

Chen Chen had some breakfast this morning. Before going out, he took a few fruit candies and put them in his pocket. After getting on the bus, he put the candies into his mouth. The rich sweet and sour fruity aroma overflowed into his lips and tongue. He closed his eyes and rested his mind. motion sickness.

Chen Chen is now very familiar with Yongxing County. After arriving in the county, he went straight to the printing factory, and then described his requirements to the people in the factory.

Linda, who was in charge of the reception, understood as soon as she heard it, and said that it could be done, and they usually take orders like this.

Chen Chen was relieved when he heard that he had experience, and added some details.

Linda said try it.

The printing factory had to make a sample first, and after Chen Chen saw it, he felt that there was no problem before starting mass production.

After waiting for ten minutes, Linda came over with samples.

Because the glass jars Chen Chen bought are often used to hold canned fruits, and there will be labels on them. The printing factory knows the specifications, and the size is just right now.

Black characters on a white background, with the word "Chen's" printed in the middle of the top, framed by a lacy ellipse, in the middle is the enlarged three characters of "Baojiao", which is very eye-catching, and below it is a sentence of "Chen Shi" in small characters. Chili, delicious and affordable", followed by the words "recommended retail price: 1 yuan" slightly enlarged.

The font is uniformly used in Arial, and the entire label looks simpler than the receipts printed by supermarkets in later generations.

Linda introduced: "There are four colors of red, white, yellow and green to choose from, but the price will be a little more expensive if you dye it. You can see which one you want."

Chen Chen asked: "Can't print pictures on it?"

"No." After a short pause, Linda said, "If the pictures are printed, the price will be much higher. Everyone thinks it is too expensive, so we stopped doing it in our factory."

Chen Chen didn't regret it either.

In this day and age, many machines are still imported from abroad, and what they buy are obsolete products. Researchers rely on studying other people's products to learn and hone their technology. It is estimated that independent research has not kept up.

The cost of imported goods is high, so the price quoted to customers will obviously not be low.

Chen Chen was no longer picky, and directly chose this template, then picked the white background that looked the most pleasing to the eye, and finally negotiated the price.

In the printing factory, at least a thousand pieces of machines are opened once, and the machines are still small machines.

Chen Chen ordered a thousand pieces first.

The printing factory needs to adjust the equipment, so [-] pieces will come out around noon.

Chen Chen paid half of the payment, and then went shopping in the county.

Chen Chen hadn't been to the agricultural machinery factory since he sold the bad peppers, and it was more lively than before when he came here to look around.

"Hey, Xiao Chen?" Liang Shu saw him and shouted.

Chen Chen walked over, "Brother Liang."

Liang Shu asked: "Why haven't you come to sell bad chili for so long? Many people who eat at my place are asking about you."

Chen Chen said: "The farming is busy, and the peppers have been picked, so there are no raw materials."

Liang Shu thought it was indeed not the season to pick chili peppers, so he called it a pity, "Isn't that a pity! You don't know, many people in the county came to ask you when you would come to sell chili peppers again. I asked, and many of them were I’ve bought bad peppers from you before, and some of them were told by others, so I plan to buy them to taste, and people come to ask us every day!”

Chen Chen's face showed just the right surprise, "Brother Liang, if anyone comes to ask again, please tell them that I will come back to sell bad peppers after the late rice is harvested."

Liang Shu was taken aback, "At that time there will be?"

Chen Chen panicked, "I picked some peppers in the late season and made some. I can't make them until the late rice is harvested."

"It's so troublesome to make your bad chili." Liang Shu clicked his tongue, "No wonder it tastes good, everyone misses it."

Chen Chen said with a smile: "So I'm going to ask Brother Liang to help me."

"Success!" Liang Shu agreed without hesitation, "It's all trivial matters, anyway, I want to chat with them, it's a matter of convenience."

Chen Chen thanked him, and chatted with Liang Shu for a few more words before leaving.

Chen Chen knew that there was a market for his own chili peppers, but next time he could invite other members of the family to come with him. Seeing the popularity of bad chili peppers with his own eyes would also increase their confidence.

Chen Chen was thinking about the follow-up journey while walking, and then caught a glimpse of Du Xingwei coming out of the state-run hotel in front.

Du Xingwei is wearing a shirt today, paired with a pair of army green trousers, and a pair of men's sandals on his feet, which is very fashionable in this era.

Especially since the other party is tall and has long legs, he looks handsome.

Du Xingwei was talking to another person. He didn't know what they were talking about and shook hands with each other before that person left.

After the suspected customer or partner left, the man who had been standing beside him without speaking stepped forward. Du Xingwei said a few words to him, and the man ran away in a hurry.

Preliminary judgment: The latter should be for Du Xingwei.

Chen Chen thought: Du Xingwei's business seems to be quite big?

Du Xingwei stood in front of the state-run hotel as if he was thinking about something, and didn't move much.

Chen Chen walked over without any hesitation.

"Du Xingwei."

Du Xingwei tilted his head, and was a little surprised to see Chen Chen, "Did you come to the county today?"

"Go and have a look at the printing factory." After answering briefly, Chen Chen asked, "Are you here to discuss business?"

Du Xingwei hummed, "Find a source."

Chen Chen didn't ask what it was, "Has it been resolved?"

Du Xingwei: "It's almost there."

Chen Chen asked very interestedly: "Did your business go to other provinces?"

Du Xingwei said: "It depends on their needs."

Chen Chen understood in seconds, it depends on the market demand.

"That business is quite big."

Du Xingwei smiled, and for a short while, Chen Chen thought it was his eyesight that made a mistake.

Du Xingwei did not deny Chen Chen's remarks, but said: "If you want to sell the bad peppers you make, you can sell them to other provinces."

Chen Chen shook his head, "We can't supply that much now, let's sell it to the provincial capital first."

It is already a relatively long-term goal to sell to the provincial capital and occupy the provincial market.

Du Xingwei said: "There will be such a day."

Chen Chen replied of course, then remembered something and asked again: "By the way, have you tried the bad chili? Do you think it suits your taste?"

Now Du Xingwei really laughed, and Jun's heart beat unbalanced.But this man is handsome without knowing it, and he is still boasting, "It's delicious."

Chen Chen looked away and said, "Then I'll give you two cans when I return to the village."

Du Xingwei refused, "No need."

Chen Chen said: "The issue of money or not has already been discussed last time, so I will skip it this time."

Du Xingwei was silent for a while, and then said: "I'm going to Changxing during this time, not in the village."

Chen Chen said, "Then I should give you a few cans."

Du Xingwei was slightly puzzled.

Chen Chen said: "You should go to Changzhou to do business, right? It takes a long time to go out, whether it is by train or bus, and it must not be good to eat. It is good to eat steamed buns and dry food with bad peppers. It is the reward for improving the weary road."

Du Xingwei recalled the taste of the bad peppers he had eaten and thought it made sense, so he said, "Then thank you very much."

Chen Chen smiled: "You're welcome."

The two stood at the entrance of the state-run hotel and chatted for a few more words. Chen Chen also knew about Du Xingwei's tomorrow in the village, and the two broke up.

In this era, a lot of waste is waiting to be built, especially in small counties in such remote areas, the houses are low and low, and it is the autumn harvest season, some sweet potatoes have not been dug, and some late rice can already be harvested, the villagers are not easy When entering the city, some people in the city have to go back to the village to help grab the harvest, and it is not the time to get off work, so there seem to be fewer people on the road than when they usually come.After walking around, I didn't think there was anything to visit.

Chen Chen walked around bored, saw someone selling kettles and went to buy three more. They were military kettles that could be carried with him, and he could use them when harvesting late rice later. It was more convenient than using clay pots before.

Then he went to the printing factory.

He came here a little early, and the things hadn't been printed yet, so Chen Chen waited inside for about half an hour before he got the final product.

One thousand products sounds like a lot, but it's actually made of paper. Even with a layer of waterproof oil on the outside, it's still light and thin, and doesn't take up much space at all.

A box the size of an ordinary shoe box is enough for these thousand pieces of labels.

Linda reminded: "There is special glue for this kind of label in the department store."

Yes, the label at this time is not the kind with self-adhesive.

Chen Chen thanked him, and after opening the box and checking that there was no problem, he paid the rest of the money, then took the packed bag, went to the department store to buy glue, and then took the bus back to the village at noon.

People in the family didn't know whether he came back at noon or at night. The field work was hard. When Chen Chen got home, Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue had already had lunch. Seeing him coming back, Liu Dongxue hurried into the kitchen to warm up his meal.

The rice was stewed sweet potato rice, and the dish was stir-fried sour cowpea with green peppers. It was left over from Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue's lunch. Liu Dongxue also cracked an egg bought from the village that he was reluctant to eat, and cooked a bowl of egg drop soup for him.

Although there is less oil, the sour cowpea is very appetizing, and it tastes good when mixed with sweet potato rice. After eating two big bowls of rice, and then a bowl of egg drop soup, it is hot and sweaty, and I feel alive.

Although the temperature is gradually getting cooler now, it is still hot at noon, and it is definitely impossible to go to the field.

After Chen Chen finished his meal and rested for a while, he went to take out the glass jar and put a label on it.

Chen Jianye, who came to help, looked at the words on the label and said, "It's the name of our Chen family, it's pretty."

Liu Dongxue is illiterate, but when she looked at the glass jars that Chen Chen had already labeled, she felt that they were completely different from the bare glass jars before. They felt like two different things, and now they looked like the fruits sold in that department store. Just as expensive as canned food.

Liu Dongxue said: "It looks better than the ones sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives before."

Chen Chen smiled and said, "This is what I want."

Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue were actually a little bit afraid to touch each other, feeling that they were not worthy.But looking at Chen Chen's series of operations of holding jars, applying glue, aligning and labeling by himself, I feel uncomfortable with so many things not in hand.

Chen Chen said: "These glass jars and labels are all produced by the same machine, and they are all the same size. Just don't shake your hands, don't be nervous."

What he said made people even more nervous.

After Chen Chen found out, he shut up and stopped talking.

After all, Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue's love for things had the upper hand, and they took it seriously. After they succeeded in the first one, they gained a little confidence, and the next ones were naturally done well.
